The Sleep Coach

Author: Sarah Jane Arnold

Sleep; what does this word evoke in you? If you are currently experiencing sleep-related problems, you may notice some very strong thoughts and feelings surfacing. You may have tried many things to help yourself sleep better, and if those things haven't worked, this can make you feel frustrated, exhausted, lonely, anxious, and sad about your current experience. But you are not alone in this; insomnia (inability to sleep) affects a large number of people around the world, and sleepless nights may recur, and the fears resulting from this affliction cause many people anxiety during waking hours. To begin, this book will provide you with basic information about sleep – defining its nature, why we sleep, and the benefits we gain from it. It then moves on to defining insomnia – its nature, its causes, and its impact on us. From this starting point, we will embark on a journey – if you are ready – of understanding, acceptance, and change that will help you respond constructively to your personal experience with insomnia.
